changes or revision OF the regulations, a STAR

boards recently summoned here for conference. He
still objects, holding that the local boards are
created for service m their respective localities or

says the commission can lesbtImately go to the
local boards for conference, &C.. but cannot order
THESE boards or any OF the members OF them to
Washington for such purpose.

aminerS can be ordered anywhere for duty. They
say the appropriation for travelling expenses OF
the board Is phTased TO include the expense OF ex-
am1ners under the order or the Commission. 1t Is
